Proper codec for importing footage to After Effects 6.5
I have a win xp machine. my girlfriend has a nice digital camera that takes avi movies... canon something...
My girlfriend took some video footage with her digital camera and i was hoping to be able to import it into after effects to play with. When i try to import it it gives me an error saying it is an unsupported avi format (not sure on exact verbage of error). I am able to import other avi footage but not clips that she has taken with her digital camera.
Where can i find other codecs or something to allow me to import the footage?
Thanks!

I just took the video off of my girlfriends camera and put it on my pc...
The problem is is that i cant even get the footage into any either program (AE or Premiere). When i go to import the footage, the program tells me it is an unsupported video format or something like that.

However it is a canon digital camera that takes little movies... will that be different?
I don't know for sure, but I would guess not.

If you used the video card, it could have whatever codec it uses... you will have to convert this file as well...
OR we can maybe figure out what codec it used, and find a way to install it so AE see's the avi...
best bet is rendering an a different fomat though...
